    I don't know. Perhaps post a url instead.

    Be that as it may, I happen to think the F50 is the ugliest Ferrari since...well...perhaps ever.

    Hi all i am new to this board, all looks very interesting with a variety of people.
    I have seen an F50 there is a used car dealer 500 yards from my house and the owner has just purchased one, he used to have a 512TR
    It looks fantastic but very rarely there due to the weather in the UK.
    LOL

    The sound they make is awesome. Designwise... I agree with you. Strange and uninspiring angles everywhere. Even Luca did not like it...
    But hey, tastes differ!

    Yes, I have seen one in real life. It looks bad with the top on, it looks even worse with the top off (like a kids bed. Don't remember who said it, but it's true). The car in front of it (in the pic) is much, much better looking.

    Thanks for the pic anyway. Even an ugly Ferrari is still a very good looking motorcar.

    Heresy! With thoughts like that clearly you and Wayne are followers of the devil himself! No mere man would dare speak like that in the presence of their 'so called friends'. You all must be warlocks. Only one way to find out. Someone get the stones and I'll get the rope. Lets find out if these evil doers can float!

    I have to agree with you. The F50 is one of the most (if not THE most) beautiful cars I have EVER seen. I do not know why I think it looks so great, but there is just something undescribeable about it.

    The upright windscreen and oversized rear wing are almost cartoonish.

    the f50 is such a design statement of the extreme. Its either you love it or you hate it.


    I love it :)

    the 288 makes it look like an East German lady's weightlifter.

    I think the F50 is the most beautiful of the more modern ferraris.

    i don't get how people criticize the F50 for having a huge spoiler and then say they love the F40. The f40's is just as big isn't it? And not as curvy and sexy

    I think the F50 is the most beautiful ferrari in the world, and the most beautiful car after the carrera gt

    True, the F40s spoiler is also huge, but not as large as the F50s. The big difference between both the F50 and F40 is that, IMO, the F40 is perfectly proportioned overall, whereas the F50 is a bit of a mess.

    ah i see.
    I still think the f50 is cooler though. i dunno, i don't like older cars very much and the f40 seems to boxy
    although it is amazing and i would love to see one
